Stoat
The Stoat is a 
Tier 2 Pet, available in the 
Golden Pack. When sold, it summons a random pet as a 1/1 from the current shop tier, with the same level as the Stoat.
Note that Stoats cannot summon another Stoat.
Strategy
Stoat can be bought and sold to guarantee a pet of the current tier, while only costing 2 gold. Though the downside is the newly summoned pet will only be a 1/1.
One of the best way to utilize this pet is holding a high level Stoat and then selling it at later tiers. With good luck, it can serve as a huge boost to the team. If it was a level 1 or 2 Stoat, the 1/1 drawback can be bypassed by combining the summoned pet with another copy of itself from the shop. The downside to this strategy is that you will be keeping a pet with low stats and no in-game abilities for a while.
Stoat can also be used as an efficient buy-sell pet for builds involving 
Meerkat or 
Bird of Paradise. After turn 10, selling a Stoat can summon 
Oyster, which when sold again will net you 2 gold in total.
Stoat vs. Roll
When looking for a pet of the same tier while having an empty slot on the team, buy-selling Stoat is more gold efficient compared to rolling, since Stoat is -2 gold on a hit and -1 gold on a miss, while rolling is -4 gold on a hit and -1 gold on a miss. However, the chances of getting what you want through Stoat is lower than rolling.
In Golden pack, buy-selling Stoat becomes objectively better than rolling once you've reached tier 6. This is when the chances of a successful Stoat hit cross over the chances of finding the desired pet through rolling.
In Custom and Weekly packs, buy-selling Stoat becomes better than rolling once you reach tier 4.

Trivia
The Stoat can be used as a "Lootbox Challenge", the goal of which is to buy and sell a whole board of Stoats and winning with the pets it gives you. An alternative to this type lootbox challenge is where you can get to sell or faint any of the pets you get out of the Stoats.
